One Year Later . . .

Um, yea, a whole year (and then some) has gone by . . . oh well.
Let's see, what is new?
Well, Gunga is now 4, and fully potty trained. Thank Goodness!
He will be starting K4 next month, and I just signed him up for a class at gymlingo.

Nothing new with the hubby - - so status quo. Things were a wee bit difficult from mid October until the end of December. He fell at work and fratured his knee-cap. He was on crutches and off of work the whole time! Needless to say, it caused me more work, and less money to pay bills.

My Mother came and spent the winter with us - which was both good and very bad. She was/is still in full grief mode and watch out for anybody trying be "little mary sunshine" around her. I made that mistake - once. Found out later that she thought I was telling her not to greive anymore. Needless to say - she got that totally wrong. I was trying to get her to find a way not to be so sad when hearing gospel music. I will never do that again! It was a long 5 and a half months. We both agree (not to each other mind you, but to impartial third parties) that if she comes down again, she is getting her own place.

I got a quasi-promotion at work. Quasi-promotion you say? Yes, more responsibility, more people to answer to, more people to answer to me, but no title change and no pay increase. My ex-boss, who went through the same kind of quasi-promotion until it was offical in January, is working on the title and pay increase, even if I am not able to get any help with the old responsibilities. It is going pretty well, but pretty soon somebody is going to have to help out with some of the weekly stuff. Which reminds me, I should really start a proceedures book for reference. In my spare time.

Other than that - still struggling with trying to lose weight. I even joined a gym (which I haven't been to in about a month). I am not giving up, because then the fat would win - and that is not acceptable! Also, sometimes I feel like my life is totally out of control, but then Saturday happens and I find I have a bit of time to breathe.

Well, time to go flip the tortillas I am crsiping into chips and then dinner (one of my favorite meals of the day :)).
